San Jacinto College's values impact the decisions I make on a regular basis. I hold myself accountable to make sure I stay true to each and every one them.

You cannot live up to any of the other values, if you do not act with honesty and if you are not willing to acknowledge and assume responsibility of your actions.

I have been fortunate to work with a lot of individuals in the past nine months.

Innovation:

Achieving excellence requires being open to new ideas in order to improve the changing needs of the individuals we serve directly or indirectly. Last fall, the Dow Chemical Foundation awarded San Jacinto College a grant to give nine middle schools in our district a kit with 11 different science experiments. As we all know, Harvey caused a lot of damage in our area. This grant allowed us to help the most impacted schools with an innovative way of teaching science to their students with a more hands on approach. Based on the feedback, teachers have incorporated these experiments in their lesson plans.
